Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Auchincloss: This is about spotlighting the grift in this administration, collecting the receipts, and preparing to investigate and fight back. There are two individuals who are the top lieutenants to RFK Jr. who have the most glaring conflicts of interest…

This is wild: Trump is offering visits to the White House to people who invest in his bullshit crypto scheme. It is pay-for-influence in the most naked possible way. Just because the corruption is out in the open and unhidden doesn't mean it's not corruption.

nytimes.comTrump Offers a Private Dinner to Top 220 Investors in His MemecoinThe offer, which caused President Trump’s memecoin to surge in price, was his family’s latest effort to profit from cryptocurrencies.

This is the biggest corruption scandal in living memory.

Someone just spent $8 million on $TRUMP memecoins after the president announced that the top holders would be invited to join him at a private dinner at his DC golf club. The purchases were funded by a Binance account, suggesting the wallet owner is not based in the US.

The organization RFK Jr formerly led is actively putting information out stating that the measles vaccine is to blame for this outbreak, not declining vaccination rates. It’s a lie. The measles vaccine is both incredibly effective and very safe. His rhetoric is responsible for these realities.

So much transparency

WATCH: The White House's Karoline Leavitt told @lbarronlopez.bsky.social that while Elon Musk is a “special government employee” who is “overseeing” DOGE, he is not the agency's administrator. She declined to name the administrator, saying that she would not reveal that from the White House podium.

"Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it's worse he doesn't care whatsoever. Elon, father of "little X" as he described his freezing cold son to me, literally does not care. He was unmoved by the experience."

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

As I warned below this AM. And we just saw the first crime by a Jan 6 terrorist that Trump pardoned! The Jan 6 crime wave is here!!

Dean Obeidallah@deanobeidallah.bsky.social

When we see a spike in crime in the next month or so it's 100% tied to Trump's mass releases of Jan. 6 criminals from prisons.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

A British theory from 2005 suggests that, for a variety of reasons, the 3d Monday in January - termed Blue Monday - is the most depressing day of the year. (Google it) Seems close to the mark.
